Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Luckily I didn't get it and asked for the flu shot the second I got to the hospital for surgery. That was exactly when we were at the peak of it where I live
Thankfully you have time to recover before your WLS
Keep hydrated, expect a 5-6 day recovery :(
Feel better
Sending prayers sweetie
Thank you all so much for your kind and loving words it is good to know that although this is a wls site that the caring doesn't start and end there - I love you all and may God bless you all.

One of my support group members from the hospital is having her surgery tomorrow and i was suppose to be there for her - I had to call and tell her i couldn't be, I feel so bad for that. She understood completely, but you know how it is when you make a promise to someone.
you CANNOT GET THE FLU FROM TAKING A FLU SHOT!!!
